Rank Symbol Spruce Up

Concise description:
Re-Do the graphics for the rank symbols

Specifics/Details:

Make the rank sybols stick out a little bit more stylistically. I saw some pictures someone posted on the remember when thread of the old symbols and they were HOT! I think especially the conqueror symbol needs a little more pizazz. Right now it looks like a coin or something. Maybe if it looked like a bust of Alexander the Great or something like that.


How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

I think it will benefit the site by making it easier on the eyes/more aesthetically pleasing. I realize that the current ones are supposed to like real military rank symbols but I definitely think at least the conqueror symbol leaves something to be desired.

The Conqueror's image was recently changed via a competition, so it is doubtful that it will be changing again.

Out of curiosity how was the competition judged? I wish I had a chance to submit for it.

Either Admin picked their favorite, or it was voted upon by users. Can't remember, as the thread got moved into a private forum

rank symbol change has been suggested before and rejected ,the conqueror symbol came into effect when lack saw the symbol in a separate competition if i remember right and decided to use it.considering the old conqueror symbol the one we have now is way better.

There is a small debate behind the scenes on this subject. Stay tuned.

I will forgiven, COOL!
Dersniffer, I wouldn't mind if they all were changed. Like I said before I thought the examples of the old ones were pretty cool but the current non-conqueror ones are not bad. I feel much more strongly about the conqueror symbol. I think it leaves something to be desired. I am not trying to criticize the designer I just think that the symbol for the highest ranked player should really stand out and be the envy of all 8-) .
